I had a bit of downtime, and thought I would take part in the monthly 'SCBWI Draw This' prompt. The theme was 'light', and I used it as an opportunity to practice perspective with no direct reference. To make my life harder, I chose to do 3-point perspective, which is the type I am the worst at - but hey, I'm not going to get better unless I practice, am I?
I thought it would be fun to have several references to 'light' in my illustration - moonlight, candle light, light as a feather, light as air...
Head below the cut to see the truly horrible sketch I did to try out the general idea, before I got my act together and made it pretty:
My defence is that I only had a few minutes before bed, and just wanted to get the idea down. =P
Once you get the hideous first-idea sketch out, you can often see all the things you hate about it, and come up with something much better. I rather like my final!
